No mercy is obviously still bitter about the way he left henley a couple of years ago and that noone down the club wanted to play for him! It's a shame that you cant just let it go and give credit to henley when its due, like last year when they had a magnificent year and injuries played a major part in why they did not win a final and get the holy grail. that is a fact! It's a shame no mercy!
I coached your club did i?
I spoke to the coach that had Henley back then today actually & mentioned to him your stupid post & he laughed twice as much as i did
.He did tell me the club just couldn't accept his decision to leave & obviously wern't happy losing him, alot of players were in the same boat with the captain making an appeal on the microphone at presentation after there last game saying they would be "shattered" to lose him. Now i can understand where your bitterness comes from Coverking, i think deep down you know how good he was for your club & you've jumped on the train of people who couldn't accept his decision & want to pretend no-one wanted to play under him & bag him.
His records on the board there champ, they did finish 3rd in his first year with a side nothing like this years, he also entised players on to League clubs with 4-5 of them that went on & played League footy, they also won a final
& lost a close prelim final.I do recall when he first went there the Niemanns, Hollands etc were 2 of some that probably didn't want to play under him ( more to do with the PORT thing) & they didn't, i don't think he was too phased by that so it was a pretty good effort to get Henley where he did & just as good an effort in developing youngsters & pushing them to better themselves in the SANFL not talking them out of it when they have the ability to make it.
